Good guide, but I don't see the point of ever having more than one miner. I understand the "professions complement each other" argument, but the mining buff just isn't useful for most classes, and if you're gonna spend an hour or two farming ore, why not log an alt instead of do it on the character you're on?

From 500-525 if you spend a half hour in Alture del Crepuscolo or Uldum farming Minerale d'Elementio you save a lot of time/gold from trying to smelt the green spell Fondi Elementio Indurito. Since it only takes 11 stacks of Elementium to level it from 475-500, and you need10 times that for the amount of bars in the 500-525 step, it seems like a ridiculous and unnecessary step. It's useful to add that if low level characters (level 75+ with Illustrious Grand Master) get a port to dalaran they can take the port from dalaran to the caverns of time and fly south to Uldum to farm Elementium. There are plenty of nodes in Uldum without hostile NPCs near them so even a low level character could do this.

One last thing (sorry for nitpicking) on the 375 - 425, Zul'Drak and Howling Fjord are in the wrong order.

I don't see the point of ever having more than one miner.

A Rouge, and most/all Tank classes can be very nice to have Mining on, and Skinning is another one with the +crit. So if someone is a tank and most/all of their characters are tank classes they might have Mining on more then one of these characters. Instead of trying to level it via the mining itself they could simply smelt their way up using extra ore they have laying around from their other mining character. Also, others just want a quicker way to get to 525 and this is much faster (and expensive) then actually mining itself. That's the basic idea behind this guide, if either of those two fit your style, it's for you.

From 500-525 if you spend a half hour in Twilight Highlands or Uldum farming Elementium Ore you save a lot of time/gold from trying to smelt the green spell Smelt Hardened Elementium. Since it only takes 11 stacks to level it to 500, and you need 10 times that for the amount of bars in the 500-525 it seems like a ridiculous and unnecessary step.

This should take you to 500 and you can either mine to 525 or follow the next step which takes Volatile Earth. If you wish to keep Smelting it is recommended to just keep making at least 1,000 Elementium Bar.

This step gets very expensive very quickly unless your miner gets very lucky.

It's a smelting guide to 525, I showed how to move up with as little Mining as possible, but I do think that I did point out that the set was useless and not recommended at all. If there is a better way I could word this then please let me know and I'll see about changing the wording but the step is there for simple completion reasons (i.e. if I left it out someone would have commented that they could smelt from 500-525 and prove that it is incomplete list).

But I have thought of a way to better word it. Just saying it is recommended to stop smelting here and mine due to time and money required to keep smelting. If you wish to keep Smelting it is recommended to just keep making at least 1,000 Elementium Bar.

It's useful to add that if low level characters (level 75+ with Illustrious Grand Master) get a port to dalaran they can take the port from dalaran to the caverns of time and fly to uldum to complete this step.

Very useful indeed, thanks for the tip, I had forgotten all about the port to CoT from Dal.

One last thing (sorry for nitpicking) on the 375 - 425, Zul'Drak and Howling Fjord are in the wrong order.

Cobalt Deposit and Rich Cobalt Deposit have the highest nodes in Zul'Drak and Howling Fjord respectfully.

Normal ore: This object can be found in Zul'Drak (206), Howling Fjord (164)Rich Ore: This object can be found in Zul'Drak (159), Howling Fjord (142)This is the order I based it on, concentration of nodes. Never have been able to pick one over the other one for where to actually mine since I did all of mine at 80 or higher.

You skipped 400-425 by smelting Saronite...

I have noticed so far that the only place to Mine for Silver is in Hillsbrad. Is there another place that you can do Mining for Silver. If you have any information that would be very helpful as I lvl up my profession. Also if there is a spot where I can Mine for Iron. This would also be much help. Thanks.
